It seems to me that the set of inputless programs contains the set of programs which have inputs. Because a program which have inputs could be written as the following inputless program : |HARDCODED INPUT||CODE| The resulting program is input less but the "substructure" denominated CODE here is not inputless, it takes the hardcoded input. So in any case I don't see why inputless program should be "trivial case".
